This review is from: England & Wales Guide (Paperback)

Having made a number of trips to England and read most of the travel guides, this is one of the most comprehensive I have seen.Divided into geographic regions, each section contains useful information about local events, sites of interest and personal comments, in addition to the usual information you expect in a travel guide. It covers restaurants, hotels, tours, local travel suggestions, as you would expect, in good detail, providing a wealth of information.

The writing style is easy to read and enjoyable, much like reading a novel. The language identifies the author as English in origin, a good introduction to some of the differences Americans will notice when they arrive. It would be a good companion on the flight over while planning events for arrival, as well as valuable for advance planning and reservations.

The advice on general topics at the beginning is also well written and reflects the authors personal experience with travel therefore providing practical and useful tips for both experienced and novice travelers.

The book itself is lightweight and easy to carry, although a bit thick, and arranged for easy reference. I am using it to plan my next trip, and finding that it is much easier to find my way through than others I have used.
